You will need a DVI to VGA adapter, as well as a VGA dummy to make the machine believe it is plugged into a monitor. Part 3: Getting the server to run headless on the Mini. If everything has worked thus far, and you are able to perform backups then congrats! You now have a Linux-powered Time Machine. You'll also get a login prompt when attempting to access it, just use the username and password for the Time Machine account you created on your server. If everything went well after all this, you should now be able to choose your server in the Time Machine preferences when selecting a disk.
#INSTALL LINUX ON MAC MINI 2006 MAC OS#
Sudo systemctl start rviceīy default Mac OS doesn't show "unsupported" or non-Apple Time Machine network drives, but you can easily change that with one Terminal command: defaults write TMShowUnsupportedNetworkVolumes 1 Next, using the venerable systemd, you can enable the netatalk and avahi-daemon services: sudo systemctl enable rvice # the max size of the data folder (in Kb) # directory for time machine data on server You simply add it to the end nf when finished (and save).

You can do it in the command line with: sudo nano /etc/netatalk/afp.conf Open the existing afp.conf configuration file for editing that is stored in/etc/netatalk/. You'll also need to set the password for this user.
Sudo chown -R timemachine:timemachine /data/timemachine sudo adduser -home /data/timemachine timemachine I've chosen to create a user timemachine, but you can pick anything you like. Create one and assign it the previously-created data folder as its home directory and assign ownership of that directory to this user. You'll also need Time Machine user account on your server which you can log in with on your Mac. I'll be using /data/timemachine/ for these instructions, if you prefer another location remember to change it in any of the following. Part 2: Getting Time Machine Working within Linux Host ( Source)įirst you need to pick a directory on your server for your Time Machine data and if it doesn't already exist, create it You will insert the CD/DVD, run through the setup to take the entire partition of the Mac Mini, and once you reach a desktop, you're ready for part 2.
